Like Clockwork

What I absolutely love about this featured video from a reality dance show is that the dancers use pop lock method interspersed with fluid movement (movement that continues evenly between the beats) in a perfect interpretation of the music. Check this out:

They also do something that few people pay attention to, but everyone can appreciate: level changes to add interest. Level changes are the texture in textiles or the timbre in a musical note. I love level changes because they add complexity and change the energy of motion by directing it in unexpected ways.

Combined with smart costuming and makeup and coordinated screens, the entire presentation makes for a geeky, futuristic dance that I could see opening up a concert, Las Vegas stage production, or an International program.
